SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the

the public to comment on applications
for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act, as

The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered or

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Background
Fish and Wildlife Service
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of
propagation or survival of the species.
These activities often include such
prohibited actions as capture and
collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found in the Code of
Federal Regulations at 50 CFR 17.22 for
endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.

Notice of receipt of permit
applications; request for comments.
ACTION:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, invite the public to
comment on the following applications
for a permit to conduct activities
intended to recover and enhance
endangered species survival. With some
exceptions, the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA), prohibits
certain activities that may impact
endangered species unless a Federal
permit allows such activity. The ESA
also requires that we invite public
comment before issuing these permits.
DATES: To ensure consideration, please
send your written comments by August
30, 2018.
SUMMARY:
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes
hunting, shooting, harming, wounding,
or killing but also such activities as
pursuing, harassing, trapping, capturing,
or collecting.
The ESA and our implementing
regulations in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) title 50, part 17,
provide for issuing such permits and
require that we invite public comment
before issuing permits for activities
involving endangered species.
A recovery permit we issue under the
ESA, section 10(a)(1)(A), authorizes the
permittee to conduct activities with
endangered or threatened species for
scientific purposes that promote
recovery or enhance the species’
propagation or survival. These activities
often include such prohibited actions as
capture and collection. Our regulations
implementing section 10(a)(1)(A) for
these permits are found at 50 CFR 17.22
for endangered wildlife species, 50 CFR
17.32 for threatened wildlife species, 50
CFR 17.62 for endangered plant species,
and 50 CFR 17.72 for threatened plant
species.
